Description

We use an enormous amount of land for animal agriculture and crops like palm oil. But there’s a new fat on the market which is offering an alternative to dairy and vegetable oils. CEO of Savor, Kathleen Alexander, discusses the company’s synthetic alternative and explains how they designed it to make the perfect pastry. Find out how this was born from a surprising question: Can we not just eat fossil fuels?
